Governor flags uncooperative statutory boards
There have been some statutory boards which have not been cooperating with reviewers on the issue of governance reforms for the territory.
Governor John Rankin pointed out at a press conference yesterday, that fewer than half of the Commission of Inquiry’s (COI’s) recommendations had been implemented as part of agreed governance reforms between the BVI and the United Kingdom (UK).
He added that many of those which have actually been implemented are matters which fall under his responsibility as governor. These include criminal investigations, for instance, which are currently taking place.
One of the main concerns highlighted by the governor in his recent report on the progress of the implementation of ongoing governance reforms was a lack of cooperation from some statutory boards to requests for information from reviewers.
In his report, Governor Rankin noted: “Reviewers Jamal Smith (B25) and Sheila Brathwaite (B29) both reported non-cooperation from a number of key Boards who failed to respond to requests for information, which has, in turn, impacted upon their ability to review some areas.”
The governor said he was aware that, particularly in regard to the review being conducted by Smith, there was “a good number of statutory boards who have not yet responded” to requests for information. Smith was appointed as the reviewer to examine provisions under which statutory boards are maintained.
And although he declined to point out specifically which boards were uncooperative, Governor Rankin expressed that he was aware of their identity.
“Until such time as the report is tabled as necessary in Cabinet and then published, it’d be wrong of me to preempt, but yes, I am aware myself of those statuary boards,” the governor said.

I do not trust this man called Governor Rankin.
Is were the BVI controls the kickbacks and favors for the cronies..no wonder they are non-responsive
Everything is bad everywhere in government except under the subjects he has responsibility for. He has forgotten he overseas a corrupt police force with a commissioner who is a known l**r. He forgets he overseas an incompetent and wicked office of the DPP that continues to charge people wrongly and have to release them on no case submissions. He has forgotten that he overseas the civil service that needs a scrub hauling from top to bottom.
That little man is a te**ible person. I do not trust one bone in his body.
The colonisers have a list of the names of all the humans they removed illegally from africa when committing their evil crimes against humanity. Yet, I have not heard these names being called. I have not heard a sincere apology and I have not seen any document agreeing to criminal charges being brought against the regime or reparations being made. Why are they being so uncooperative. Why are they sweeping it under the rug. Breach of trust? We are talking about actual and recorded crimes against humanity.
People, “wake up”, You keep poking the UK and they are going to kick your butts!!!!!!!
“a good number of statutory boards who have not yet responded”
What are they doing to earn our trust?
What are they doing to earn their paycheck??
Comment section bloggers busily rhetorically discussing its statements and opinions on its own articles , they have at least have suddenly discovered spell check! pease give your own voters the real public a chance to comment rather than attempting to put your words into their mouths.
Time for the UK to take over!!!!!!! Bam
Hear this moo moo.
We don’t trust you either so you can continue broken down record racism and give yourself a trophy ? for blogging the SH*T , you have earned it / the problem is the outside world is getting a negative impression of the inhabitants of this tourist destination , you are so appalling
You can take your silly deflecting comments to the tabloid site we don’t fall for that over here
I tell you everytime I read overseas it threw me for a loop. Took me a minute but finally caught on. We really need to see to the education of our children as a national priority.
The white UK operatives are on the blogs. They are trying to shape public opinion in every way. They are evil people.
These people can’t take instructions, can’t follow directions..They are very disrespectfully…Britain sure has a lot of patience..Britain made a huge mistake thinking these people were going to change, they should have taken over from the start..
don’t worry, he does not trust you either..
So who do you trust? Fahie?
Especially up there where you can sitin your office …………………
Salaries is a form of kickback too. Food for thought!
Is someone paying people here to blog this racist anti UK stuff? It’s all following the same script. Is this done from here or abroad?
I’m paid to blog on random sites expressing my opinion using nonsensical and laughable comments. With this income, I was able to purchase a home and car, travel to Belarus and Turkey for vacations, and support my wife’s crazy shoe habit. So yes it can be done.
BVI blogs are exciting to contribute to, as it’s rather simple to stoke the flames of hate and racism that are so plainly evident in your culture.
But as you say, One Love!
